CAUTION
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sudden
braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
■
Wearing a seat belt
●
Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.
●
Always wear a seat belt properly.
●
Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt for more
than one person at once, including children.
●
Lexus recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always use a seat belt
and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
●
To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than necessary. The
seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting up straight and well back in
the seats.
●
Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.
●
Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.
■
Pregnant women
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt
in the proper way. (

P. 30)
Women who are pregnant should position the
lap belt as low as possible over the hips in the
same manner as other occupants, extending
the shoulder belt completely over the shoulder
and avoiding belt contact with the rounding of
the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not only the
pregnant woman, but also the fetus could suffer
death or serious injury as a result of sudden
braking or a collision.
